I am an american moved to brum. Still was able to hold my US job so i work remotely. But how I got it was I went through an IT program to essentially get A+ cert. during that program we were given the opportunity to speak with recruiters and professionals from various companies. I made it my goal to network and stay connected with those individuals throughout the program and further. Finally after the program ended we were given internships to which mine was completed but they did not want to hire me full time but shortly after (a month or two) one of the recruiters I connected with during the program gave me a call for a fully remote opportunity and the rest is history. We have gone through acquisitions and whatnot and here I am. Lesson to learn here, network and connect with professionals. When an opportunity presents itself, don’t be afraid to take that risk!

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
